Rablo Games unveils a first gameplay trailer and a playable demo

January 7th, 2025 – Indie developer Rablo Games is thrilled to announce Joltt – Battle Pillars, a unique twist on the 2D fighting genre, coming to Steam in 2025. 

They just released a first gameplay trailer, alongside a Steam demo and a Kickstarter campaign.

About the game

Joltt - Battle Pillars challenges wizards to face off in a magical joust where victory isn't about depleting your opponent's health but making them fall from their pillar. Outmaneuver their attacks and knock them off with your magical projectiles to be the last one standing.

No close combat. No blocking. The first one to get hit loses the round instantly. Read your opponent’s mind, dodge and counter everything to be victorious!

Key Features

  • Unique Battle Mechanics: Your goal isn’t to deplete your opponent's health, but to knock them off their pillar.

  • No blocking: Players must dodge, evade, counter, and use mind games to win.

  • Simple Controls: Every move is executed with a single button press, sometimes combined with a direction.

  • Super accessible: No close combat, no complicated combos.

  • Unique Art Style: Animations are hand-drawn using Rablo Games’ signature art direction.
